Land Pride Section 2 Operation Left/Right Fuel Tank Valve Refer to Figure 2-3: The mower is equipped with a Left/Right Fuel Tank Valve that will determine which fuel tank the mower is operating from. It is not important which fuel tank the mower is using. Refer to Figure 2-5: These levers control the mower’s speed, direction, neutral lock and park brake. Levers are used to steer, accelerate, brake and change direction.
Land Pride Section 2 Operation Instrumentation Electronic Hour Meter Refer to Figure 2-7: Registers 1/10 hour increments up to 9,999.9 total hours. Connected to the ignition switch, the meter records the accumulative time while the ignition key is switched to the RUN position and the operator is on the seat. 5. With the deck clutch switch up and/or the control levers in the neutral position, slowly raise off of the seat. The engine should stop within two seconds. 6.
Land Pride Section 2 Operation IMPORTANT: The engine starter should not be operated for periods longer then 30 seconds at a time. An interval of at least two minutes should be allowed between such cranking periods to protect the starter from overheating and burn-out. 5. Perform test to make sure safety start interlock system is operating properly. Refer to Safety start interlock system section. 6. As soon as engine begins to run, check to make certain the oil warning light is off.
Land Pride Section 2 Operation Driving the Mower Operating Suggestions ! DANGER! Never make sudden stops or reverse direction, especially when going down a slope. The steering is designed for sensitive response. Rapid movement of the control levers in either direction could result in a reaction of the mower that can cause serious injury. Steering Refer to Figure 2-9: After starting engine, engage the control levers and steer as follows: To Go Forward: Push control levers forward an equal distance.
Land Pride Section 2 Operation Use high blade speed. Your Accu Z is designed to operate at full throttle. The throttle setting directly controls blade speed. The highest blade speed generally gives the best cut. Mower Deck Operation Direct grass discharge to right, away from unmown area. Select a mowing pattern that directs grass discharge towards the outside, not towards center, of mowing area. Generally, this means using a pattern utilizing left turns because side discharge is to right.
Land Pride Section 2 Operation Operating Instructions After thoroughly familiarizing yourself with the Operator’s Manual and completing the Operator’s Checklist, you are almost ready to begin mowing. Approach the mower from the front and make sure the steering levers are spread fully apart in parking brake position. Stand just to the outside rear of the left front anti-scalp wheel and grab the left side steering lever for support.
Land Pride Section 3 Adjustments Section 3 Adjustments ! Wheel lug nuts WARNING! Unless specifically required, DO NOT have engine running when servicing or making adjustments to the mower. Place control levers in the park brake position and remove ignition switch key. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only. To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, be sure proper ventilation is available when engine must be operated in an enclosed area.
Land Pride Section 3 Adjustments Control Lever Neutral Adjustment Before considering any adjustment, check the tire air pressure and make certain hydraulic system oil is at operating temperature. Unequal tire pressure will cause the mower to drift to one side. Refer to “Tire Inflation Chart” on page 44. 4. If wheel(s) are rotating forward, loosen the jam nuts on the pump linkage rods and rotate the rod to lengthen the steering control linkage until the wheel(s) come to a stop. Refer to Figure 3-2.
Land Pride Section 3 Adjustments arms are stopping the forward motion of the control arms, loosen the jam nut on the adjustable stop of the corresponding side and turn the stop (set screw) inward to stop the control levers slightly before the pump bottoms out. Lock in place when the adjustment is correct by re-tightening the jam nut. 3. Do this for each side.
Land Pride Section 3 Adjustments Steering Dampener Refer to Figure 3-5: The steering dampeners are incorporated into the unit to provide some resistance when the control levers are moving forward or rearward. To set the steering dampeners in the correct operating position follow these steps: 1. Place the control lever in the neutral position. 2. Check the center distance from the dampeners front mounting hole to the rear mounting hole. This dimension should be 8 9/16”.
Land Pride Section 3 Adjustments 4. Rotate the tire. The tire should rotate. Remember hydraulic oil resistance will prevent the tire from rotating freely even with the bypass valves open. There should be no resistance from the brakes at this point. 5. Move the control lever to where it is touching the outside edge of the lever’s travel slot. Refer to Figure 3-9. Control Lever Park Brake Slot Outside Edge Front Brake Link (Right Side) Front Brake Link Figure 3-7 Travel Slot 19083 2.
Land Pride Section 3 Adjustments 8. Rotate the tire and at the same time rotate the turnbuckle to shorten the length of the brake linkage to increase the brake pressure. When you feel the brake begin to engage, stop adjusting the turnbuckle. Retighten the jam nuts on the turnbuckle. 9. Place the control lever in the park brake slot. Refer to Figure 3-9. The tire should not rotate when the control lever is in the park brake position. 10. Place the control lever in the neutral position.
Land Pride Section 3 Adjustments Deck Level Adjustments Leveling the deck must be done in the following manner and order: 1. Check tire pressures to make certain they are properly inflated before starting to level deck. See “Tire Inflation Chart” page 44. ! Stop Handle Height Adjusting Stop WARNING! Stop engine. Make sure deck clutch switch is in the down (OFF) position. Place control levers in the brake position before leaving machine. 2. Park the unit on a flat surface. 3.
